What we’re about
This group is for people who like to play board games, card games and meet new friends in the process. Our favorite games include selections such as: Puerto Rico, Agricola, Power Grid, Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, Battlestar Galactica, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Stone Age, Pandemic, Railroad Tycoon / Railways of the World, Ra, The Settlers of Catan, Endeavor, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Citadels, Chicago Express, Thunderstone, For Sale, Shadows Over Camelot, Alhambra / Granada, Shadow Hunters, Eclipse, 7 Wonders, Saboteur, and many more! You'll find card games like Spades, Hearts, Euchre, Hand & Foot, Durak, etc. There's also a fun selection of party games. Our events are located primarily in the eastern half of the Phoenix metro area, but we're always expanding!
Be sure to include your real name and an actual recognizable photograph of yourself in your profile that clearly shows your face. Invalid profile photos include nature scenes, cartoons, pictures of your children/dog, blurry shots, pictures of your feet, wearing a mask or covering up with hats and sunglasses, showing the back of your head, micro pictures or group photos (i.e. it's not clear which one is you). This policy is primarily for our safety and yours, especially as some of our events are at member's homes. Also we're all about being friendly, and it's way more sociable to show yourself so we can greet you properly at our next event. So quit hiding and post a picture in your profile before you join. If you're stuck, here's a link about how to add and manage your meetup photos.
Note: a host can deny you entry to their house or ask you to leave for violating this policy, or for any other reason at their discretion.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Games at Rick and Linda'sNorth 56th Street & East Shea Boulevard, Phoenix, AZ
Rick and Linda host a fun game day the second Saturday of each month. They have a large collection of strategy, family, party, and other games. Many guests bring their games as well. Rick and Linda provide bottled water, juices, and a variety of sodas. Everyone enjoys a pot luck later in the afternoon, so bring a tasty dish to share.
Nearly all the RSVP spaces are registered in advance to longstanding friends. Others are welcome to RSVP beginning the preceding Saturday at 8:00 a.m., potentially joining a waitlist. Everyone is asked to promptly update their RSVP if plans change, this allows space to include as many from the waitlist as our home can accommodate. Individuals joining us for the first time will be sent a Direct Message in Meetup with our full address.
Since our home only has limited space, we want to share other gaming opportunities:
Every 2nd and 4th Saturday there are games at the Val Vista Lakes Country Club (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/284077181768704)Nearly every Saturday, the Arizona Games group has games at one or more locations (see https://www.meetup.com/arizonagames/events/)
